Simple Sunflower Card 2 Ways with Stamp Club #10 :D

So my sped up video for today is a little on the simple side, but I wanted to show the difference between die-cutting your elements or masking the elements when building your focal point. I still can't decided which I prefer, but I guess it depends on the style you're after :D I'd say the main advantage with die-cutting is that you can do a more elaborate background because you don't have to avoid the stamping :D But anyway the great thing is, you get the dies so you don't have to choose :D :D

Tonic Stamp Club #10 - Sunshine and Sunflowers :D

Here's my Up Close video for the gorgeous and cheerful Sunshine and Sunflowers Stamp Club :D As always I give you an up close look at the stamps and dies as well as some examples and extra ideas too :D I showed 3 different styles in this video and I'm a little annoyed that I ended up filming the plainest cards as my sped up video lol but hopefully showing the comparison between masking or die-cutting the elements will be useful to one of you :D Enjoy :D xxx

Craft Perfect Cotton Paper Backgrounds with Showcase #9 :D

 

This month's Showcase die set it another fabulously versatile set that I think will work for a number of different styles when you switch up the colour scheme :D I decided to go for quite modern cards in today's video, and I show you a background technique using Tonic's Craft Perfect cotton handmade papers where you add ink and water (or spray inks) to the back of the paper and use it to pull prints for your backgrounds :D Hope you like the technique :D xxx

Tonic Craft Kit #45 - Serendipitious Purse Box :D

Here's my Un-Boxing video for Tonic Craft Kit #45 :D You'll notice in the video that the craft kit has had a makeover, and Tonic are now dropping the number for the kits and just referring to them by their name, however I think I'll still stick with the numbers as I like to know the chronological order :D xxx
